The correct option is A: always.

• Robert goes to the gym only two or three times a year, which indicates that it is a rare occurrence for him.
• Option D: "seldom" is the correct choice because it means that something happens very infrequently or rarely.
• Options A, B, and C do not accurately describe the frequency of Robert's gym visits as they indicate a higher frequency (always, never, usually).

 

Answer: D: seldom

Explanation of Answer:

- Option A (always) contradicts the initial statement that Ms. Biethan is always in a good mood.
- Option B (usually) also contradicts the initial statement, as it implies that she is sad more often than not.
- Option C (never) is the correct answer, as it is consistent with the statement that she is always in a good mood.
- Option D (None of the above) is incorrect, as Option C is the correct choice.

So, the correct option is C (never). Ms. Biethan is always in a good mood, and she is never sad.

Answer:

Option A: never

Explanation:

• My sister usually drives to work with a friend, which means she often has someone with her.
• The sentence says she "_______ drives alone," so we are looking for a word that indicates she rarely or does not drive alone.
• Option A, "never," implies that she does not drive alone at all, which matches the context of the sentence.

Answer: A

Explanation:

• Harold never leaves the college on Friday. This means he stays on campus.

Teresa is not a pleasant person. She is always in a bad mood.

• Option A "never" means she is not in a bad mood, which does not align with the description.
• Option B "seldom" means she is rarely in a bad mood, which also does not align with the description.
• Option C "always" means she is constantly in a bad mood, which emphasizes her unpleasantness and aligns with the description.
• Option D "none of the above" is not applicable since option C is the correct choice.
